The guide was wonerful. We arrived 45 minutes early so we would know where to go. The "cafe" we were directed to is closed. There were several other companies there with signs and arrows but I could not find our compay. I was even looking for the 2 p.m. tour so I would know where to go. After 2 p.m. I met two different parties from the 2 p.m. tour still looking for the meeting place. It was very annoying. Had the guide not been so good, I would have really been disappointed. Someone from the office called me and I thought they other people had found the group -- but they had not. As it turned out, one of the competing tour guides told me where to go. And by the way, I used the link in your email to direct me to the point and it said "you have arrived" and it was probably 50 yards from where the guide was.

The entrance to the museum is greatly facilitated by the preferential access, which is appreciated. The guide, Jorge Luis Camacho, knows a lot about the museum and the works that are essential to see during the visit, however during the whole tour he took every opportunity he had to speak ill of the Catholic Church, which is quite tiring.

It was great to skip the line on a crowded day. My only criticism was it was hard to find the guide at the meeting place. You should hold a Head Out flag or at least use purple

Why should you visit the Louvre?

Once a Royal Palace, the Louvre was later converted into a public museum at the end of the French Revolution. Today, the Louvre houses one of the most expansive art collections in the world, with pieces from all periods. Notably, the museum has pieces from the Egyptian civilization, the Mesopotamian civilization, the Greek and Roman civilizations, along with pieces of Islamic art. Visiting the Louvre allows you to see all these art pieces, including Da Vinci’s most famous work – the Mona Lisa. If you enjoy history and classical art, make sure you visit the Louvre at least once while in Paris.

Guided tour of the Louvre

Once you join the 2-3-hour tour, you will be guided through all the sections of the Louvre by your tour guide. The guide will narrate all the details relevant to each section while highlighting the most notable pieces. See the beautiful Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory, the great French neoclassical paintings, and the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. Discover hidden treasures as well as crowns studded with precious jewels, ancient Egyptian antiquities, sublime Greek statues, and much more. Once the tour is over, you are free to stay and explore for as long as you wish.
